I have one of those "Drinkwell" water fountains for my two cats.  The
water passes through a fiberglass/charcoal filter, then out a spout
into a dish, and is then recirculated.  I have to add about quart of
water every three days.

Hi folks - a few weeks ago, I wrote for some help with Skipjack, who uses his
box but uses other places as well.  His first visit to the vet showed no UTI.
Neither did a visit to a different vet.  We tried to go to my preferred vet,
but she's an hour away.  On the day we had the ...

My family and I have moved to the UK and our cat is being looked after
by friends until she fulfills all of the requirements to not be
quarantined in the UK (it will take about six months). She is about
ten years old and has been separated from us for about two weeks. We

I have a short hair indoor cat. He's about 6yrs old. On his back there
is about 4 or 5 little clumps about the size of my thumb. It's matted
and tangled. I tried to use a brush and comb but ts just too tangeled.
Im thinking about trying to wash/shampoo it out. Last but not least I

One of my cats has got black crusty bits on the fur on her chin. I believe
this is a sign of overactive sebaceous glands/cat acne. Can anyone confirm
this? The only time I've come across cat acne before it was a lot more
obvious than this, but cleared up in a week or so with daily ...

I think the guy is a con artist.  All last week, the guy didn't have
the kittens with him at all.  On Monday morning and this morning, he
had them back again.  This guy is working a scam.  How do you have
kittens one week, and then not another when you're homeless?  You

He was only 11 months old. A major organ was involved and little could be done
but everything was tried. There was something about him that always seemed not
long for this world in spite of the fact that he appeared quite happy and
healthy until a few weeks ago. I lost another 13 ...

My brothers and sister and I got a Siamese kitten for our mother for
Christmas.  "Molly" is now about eight months old, and has been a great pet
for my parents except for one thing - she bites (in play, and perhaps
sometimes affectionately), and she bites HARD.  It's especially hard ...

As I've mentioned a few times on this group, my dog Bubbas has
allergies up the wazzoo - flea, food, and outdoor pollen etc....
Recently he got worse, was losing hair on his lower back and tail, so
we went to an actual dermatologist for some further diagnosing.

I thought you might like this story from a TV/Book writer who posts on another
board.
I recently lost a cat that I'm still very sad about. It is good to hear these
kinds of stories.

Hi all!  Yes, I have converted.  I still love my great dane, but the newest
love of my life (Hailey the supposed maine coon) has me stressed.  In all 21
of my years, I've never owned a feline, so perhaps having rescued a 4 week
old  kitten that insists that I'm her mommie from which ...

I'm trying to get as much info as I can for all of my kitties,
including the three HCM kitties.
I did a quick search on Amazon and found three books:
1. The Cornell Book of Cats by Mordecai Siegel ISBN 0679449531

I'm about 90% sure this is the way I want to go. My cat was diagnosed
with hyperthyroidism about 3 weeks ago. He has been on Tapazole 2x a
day since then. He hates being pilled, it takes 3 or 4 tries to get
him to take the pill each time. His activity level has gone down

my cat muffin is 16yrs old hes blind, is on medication for blood pressure and
fortekor, but just lately has put weight on making him look like a donkey each
side, has anyone experienced this, I am wondering if it is his weight because
he doesn,t get round much now, or if it is ...

Does anyone else have cats whose head drops when they fall asleep?
I was thinking about things my cats do that make us laugh.
In the evening they like to sit with us when we watch TV. Now like most cats
they sleep a lot but remain alert. However there are times when they fall
